Great minds think alike -- I posted the same thing. :) The estimate keeps going up, probably because more books keep being published!

Oddly enough, today the Washington Post has chosen to reprint a 1988 article about the Internet; that article mentions Robert Tappan Morris, the first person prosecuted under the Computer Fraud Act, whom Brittney Douress told us about today. Nice timing, Brittney! :)

Note too that this article came out well before the World Wide Web was invented circa 1992 / 1993. There weren't any GUI web browsers yet; people just used text-only terminals (no pictures, no video) to access stuff. Mostly news groups -- I'll post a picture of what that looked like if I can find one.

Although you should probably look a bit more into specific numbers, these facts are fascinating! For example, percentage of facebook users around the entire world and link to the very first website.
